Autism collection
To help people living with autism spectrum disorders (ASD), their families, friends and educators, the library houses a unique collection of health information.
The autism collection, located on the upper floor of Central Library, was made possible through the vision and generous financial donations of Waterloo Wellington Autism Services. The collection contains resources and information for families and individuals of all ages, researchers and educators.
